As battlenets current state seems to be garbage, im tempted to play a single player walkthrough.
What character is most challenging to playthrough the game with on hardcore players8, of the 'standard' builds (Blade fury sin etc have no interest)
I was thinking bowazon?

Psnzon
Psnblademancer
Auradin

Those are challanges phys bow is cool.
Melee sorc too

Physbow is a good suggestion, rest not really imo.. Would get bored to death i guess
Any other who wants to chime in

Whirlwind/Zerk barbs can be challenging, Fury druid, Basically any melee character!

i am currently doing a HC elemental melee sin play though (fire/light claw, NOT trapper)

mostly because i have never played one.

if you look for my name on twitch there are a couple videos. (just early normal so far)
if you want to get a look at how they feel starting off.

hello im back to d2 too 🙂

Fireclaw bear, bowazon, javazon is a nightmare in act 3 hell, bone or poison necromancer, shaman druid.

There’s some really bad skills out there. But none worse than Artic Blast.

On a serious note I would try bowazon or fury Druid

Throw barb.
